In America, Coburn worked for a year with Gertrude Käsebier and joined the Photo-Secession founded by Alfred Stieglitz. In 1906, the Royal Photographic Society invited the young American to give a one-man show in London, for which George Bernard Shaw wrote the catalog preface. This established Coburn's fame in England where, throughout the first two decades of the century, the photographer worked indefatigably and with success, producing memorable portraits of celebrities, revolutionary landscapes and abstract compositions. Despite never giving up photography, in the 1920s Coburn retired to Wales and lived a contemplative, inner life pursuing mysticism and freemasonry until his death in 1966..As well as portraiture, Coburn was also exploring cityscapes and photographed famous London landmarks such as Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey and Tower Bridge in a romantic and impressionistic style. They were published in his book London (1909), which was followed by a book of New York scenes a year later. His most famous book, however, was a collection of his portraits, Men of Mark (1913). Coburn left the USA permanently in 1912 and relocated to London before later settling in North Wales. While living in London, he became attracted to Vorticism, an offshoot of Cubism, which used bold lines and angular shapes to create abstract representations of subjects. This style was radically different from his previous work, but he believed photographers had become entrenched in familiar styles and should try something new. .
